James - Fresh As A Daisy: The Singles [compilation] (2007) by James (보컬) on maniadb.com

Ring ring the bells
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This anger’s deeper than sleep

Got to keep awake to what is happening
I can’t see a thing through my ambition,
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we’ve all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
...

Break break the code
Concentrate
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you’re in deeper than sleep

Got to keep awake to what is happening
I can’t see a thing through my ambition,
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we’ve all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
...

When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I’m as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I’m as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit’s free
There’s nothing challenging me
...

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder"

Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul

It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore

The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign
And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on

Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul

There's four new colors in the rainbow
An old man's taking polaroids
But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his
And I swear I can hear the sea

Somtimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul
(I can touch your soul )
(I can reach your soul)
Sometimes

Well they said you are as good as you look but that
Would be impossible
For you look better than the face of god on a sunny day
You look good enough to eat but I’ve had a bellyful
And now I have this bill I don’t wanna pay
How was it for you
How was it for you
How was it for you

How was it for you
How was it for you
How was it for you

How was it for you

Do you really need that drink to disarm defences
Can you ever face the flak when you’re in control
Well I don’t believe my luck I am defenceless
Do with me what you want but don’t tell a soul
Don’t tell my soul

How was it for you
How was it for you
How was it for you

How was it for you
How was it for you
How was it for you

Was it as good as it was for me
Well that’s the best it’s ever been
And you’re the best I’ve ever seen
How was it for you
How was it for you

How was it for you my love
Was it good for you my dear
How was it for you my love
Was it good for you my dear

If you ain’t out of your head can you ever enjoy yourself
But if you ain’t in your head then who’s at home?
I’m so possessed by sex I could destroy my health
We could be dancing over coals and we’d never know
We’d never know

How was it for you
How was it for you
How was it for you

How was it for you
How was it for you
How was it for you

How was it for you
How was it for you
How was it for you
Was it as good as it was for me
Well that’s the best it’s ever been
And you’re the best I’ve ever seen

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah

We lie awake and feel it warm
I need to feel your feeling hands
We lie awake and rise at dawn
Only your fingers can understand
Your feeling warm
Can understand
The feeling calls
Your feeling hands
It’s such a feeling, yeah
It’s such a feeling, woah
It’s such a feeling, yeah
It’s such a feeling, woah
It’s such a feeling

It's that time again when I lose my friends
Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure
This is a testing time when the choice is mine
Am I a fool for love or foolish for desire
You can throw him out you can spit on him
Call what he does a sin if it makes you feel better


And I can't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
And the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home


After thirty years I've become my fears
I've become the kind of man I always hated
I am pulled apart, and my swollen heart
Has flipped out of the pan into the fire
I am in love insane with a sense of shame
That I threw stones at the condemned and
Now I'm slated


And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
And the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home

So we may be gorgeous
So we may be famous
Come back when we’re getting old
Cover us in chocolate
Sell us to the neighbours
Frame us in a video
Clone us in a test tube
Sell us to the multitude
Guess that’s the price of fame
She likes the black one
He likes the the posh one
Cute ones are usually gay
Here we come this is our destiny calling
We’re freaks
This is our destiny calling
Unique
This is our destiny calling now
Don’t believe the adverts
Don’t believe the expert
Everyone will sell our souls
Get a little wiser
Get a little humble
Now we know that we don’t know
Tell us when our time’s up
Show us how to die well
Show us how to let it all go
Here we come, this is our destiny calling
We’re freaks
This is our destiny calling
Unique
This is our destiny calling now
Some fat cats playing roulette with lives
This game is fixed it’s all a lie
Some fat cats playing roulette with lives
This time is curved, there’s no straight lines
Some fat cats playing roulette with lives
Forget myself we’re all entwined
There’s no straight lines
Here we come, this our destiny calling
We’re freaks
This is our destiny calling
Unique
This is our destiny calling now
Here we come, this our destiny calling
We’re freaks
This is our destiny calling
Unique
This is our destiny calling now
This is our destiny calling
This is our destiny calling
This is our destiny calling
Now
Now
Now

This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Lined my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home

Raid
Raid

All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self control has just expired
All an illusion
Only in my head you don't exist
Who are you foolin'
Don't need a shrink or an exorcist

La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la

Show me the movie
Of who you are and where you're from
Born of frustration
Caught upon the webs you spun
Where's the confusion
A vision of what life is like
Show me the movie
That doesn't deal in black and white

Stop stop talkin 'bout who's to blame
But all that counts is how to change
Stop stop talkin 'bout who's to blame
When all that counts is how to change

La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la

All this frustration
All this frustration
Who put brown owl eyes on a butterfly's wings
All this frustration
All this frustration
Who gave the leopard spots and taught the birds to sing
Born of frustration
Born of frustration

I'm living in the weeds where nothing is the way it seems
Where no one is who they need to be
Where nothing seems that real to me
'Bout time we filled our lives
Upon the walls of gold no solid ground
The world is spinnin' endlessly
We're clinging to our own beliefs
Born of frustration
Born of frustration

Here we go again,
Here we go again,
Ladies and gentlemen
The show is just beginning


The actors have arrived
The show is improvised
Who are you and when
do you begin and end

What a life, a trick of light
Then everything returns to the sea
You can have whatever you want
But are you disciplined enough to be free?

Turning love into a chore
Promises come cheap, dear reader
Another page, another door
Follow, follow me

I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me

Moving on, I don't belong
My life turned into a mall
Every line is in the song
Follow me out of the fall

What an actor, what a show
Just going through some holy motions
The band is sharp, but the singer's slow
Everything must go

I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me

Follow me (x8)

Souvenirs, polygraph tests
Photographs fresh from the wreck
What a poster saint he'll make
In one take, one take

I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me

Follow me (x8)

Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word
Love can mean anything
Understand the world we’re living in
Oceans apart
What’s that view from your wave
Beautiful craft
Weather and change
Understand the world we’re living in
Love can mean anything

God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Made me a pair of angel’s wings
Clear vision and some magic things

God is love to me
Thank you for those things
Understand the world we’re living in
Love can mean anything

Darling
I’m open
Unguarded
Unbroken

Now we’ve done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain

Understand the world we’re living in
Love can mean anything

Understand the world we’re living in
Love can change anything

Doctor what is happening to me?
Palpitations, my mind is diseased
Even my vision is impaired
I’m losing my hair
Cause when I hold her in my arms I feel like Fred Astaire

Lovesick, my temperature’s high
Just met a girl, who believes we can fly
I’m a bull, not a bear
I’m a millionaire
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire

I believe in happiness
I believe in love
I believe she fell to earth from somewhere high above
I believe in Hollywood
Don’t believe that love must bring despair
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire

He said love is just a disease
A plague for the naive
These days no one believes
...

Meteors may strike the earth
Nations live and die
I’m the boy who got the girl
And now we’re gonna fly
We can cross the race divide
Bridge a gap that wasn’t really there
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire

I’m gonna hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
I’m gonna hold her in this charm,
Like Fred Astaire (come dance the water’s rising)
Like Fred Astaire (come dance the water’s rising)
Like Fred Astaire

Help comes when you need it most
I'm cured for laughter
Mood swings not sure I can cope
My life's in plaster (in plaster)

May your mind set you free
(Opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you breathe all of disaster
(Opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on

These wounds are all self-imposed
Life's no disaster, disaster
All roads lead unto death-row
Who knows what's after?

May your mind be wide open
May your heart beat strong
May your mind's will be broken
By this heart-felt song
May your mind set you free
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you breathe all of disaster
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on, may your heart lead you on
May your eyes let you see all of disaster
May your heart lead you on, lead you on
(May your eyes be opened by the wonderful)

Set you free
(May your heart lead you on)
Lead you on

You're as tired as a hunter's trap
Hiden well
What are you concealing
Poker face carved in stone
Amongst friends but all alone
Why do you hide
Say something, say something
Anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something
Anything
You silence is deafening
Hey me in kind
Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidding tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life
Say something, say something
Anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something
Anything
You silence is deafening
Hey me in kind
Say something, say something
Anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
I'm open
Wide open
Wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Hey me in kind

How many lives to set you free?
Cats got nine, eight more than me
Near to death when I was 23
All I felt was peace

Am I a man or am I machine?
Punch me in, my clock is ticking
On my knees I count my rosary
Wiping my slate clean

Tell me, who are you?
Tell me, who are you?
Tell me, who are you?
Tell me, who are you?

Mother sing me a lullaby
Stroke my head and tell me not to cry
Tell me everything will be alright
Tell me, who am I?

I’m a sinner, I believe
Self control is killing me
Too much choice, I crave simplicity
Too much structure, spontaneity
In my hive I’m just another bee
Trying to be myself

Tell me, who are you?
Tell me, who are you?
Tell me, who are you?
Tell me, who are you?

Warning, coming down
Warning, coming down
Coming down over you

Warning, coming down
Warning, coming down
Coming down over you

Warning, coming down
Warning, coming down
Coming down over you

Warning coming down
Warning, coming down
Coming down over…

Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Come to bed
Come to bed
Come to bed
I cannot sleep in all this heat
Come to bed
Come to bed
This terror’s all within my head
Don’t be deceived, no land in sight
We’re all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body’s young but my spirit’s old
Scatter my ashes and let these feelings grow
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Don’t be deceived, no land in sight
We’re all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body’s young but my spirit’s old
Scatter my ashes and let these feelings grow
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control

Ape your father's sins, your mother's mood swings
To perfection
Fall into a spin, shed another skin
Strip away all your protection

Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break the fall
And you see the gathering clouds
Cry at the sadness of the world
Cry so long you break its cold
And you hear the gathering sounds

Do everything you fear
In this there's power
Fear is not to be afraid of

Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break your fall
And you hear the gathering sounds

Come, dip on in
Leave your bones, leave your skin
Leave your past, leave your craft
Leave your suffering heart

I see you falling
How long to go before you hit the ground
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me here
Am I a ghost to you

Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
Tomorrow

Why are you phoning
What am I to do when you're miles away
You're always calling from the darkest moods and we're both scared

Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change

Now your grip's too strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow

I'm just out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering's in vain
Tomorrow

Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow

I got out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering seems vain
Change tomorrow
Some forgiveness now
Tomorrow
Love's no sacred cow

Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore

Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow could always keep her small
So frightened that he won't love her
She builds up a wall

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

She's been in disguise forever
She's tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she's coming through

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

Don't tell her to turn down
Put on your shades if you can't see
Don't tell her to turn down
Turn up the flame
She's a star
She's a star

It's a long road
It's a great cause
It's a long road
Its a good call

You got it
You got it
She's a Star

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that god exists
I hope I pray

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Chorus :
Oh sit down ( X3 )
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such rishes
I could live with being poor

Chorus

Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find the're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears...

Down
Down
